1. The Nightmare Before Christmas
This is one of those films that can not only be watched on Halloween, but also during Christmas! It’s a classic. Jack Skellington is one of the most beloved characters and his love for wanting to bring Christmas to Halloweentown is heartwarming and awesome. This is the perfect film to watch with the little kids in your family if they aren’t trick or treating.

2. Halloween (Original One)
It’s not Halloween without this classic John Carpenter film. It’s one of those films in which literally everyone on planet earth has seen. It’s almost a guarantee that you’ll see someone dressed as Michael Myers roaming the streets on this night. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence and many others.

3. A Nightmare on Elm Street
One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late.

I think that song is enough to make you want to watch. Freddy kills people in their dreams, so don’t fall asleep!
